This recent rise in the number of sporting and live events is envisaged to result in this market's remarkable CAGR of more than 19% by 2020.

The global market for secondary tickets is extremely competitive due to the presence of multiple international and local vendors. Factors like intense competition, rapid advances in technology, and frequent changes in consumer preferences pose significant challenges for this market as they negatively impact the revenue generating capacity of the vendors. In this market, the vendors compete on the basis of benefits and pricing to gain a competitive edge over their rivals.

The increasing number of sporting events is a major trend witnessed in the market. Sporting events such as the Olympics, FIFA, Super Bowl, and Cricket World Cup are gaining high traction and are watched by millions of the population across the world. The growing passion for such sports is attracting higher numbers of people to witness the event at the venue, which is increasing the number of tickets being sold each year, resulting in high growth in the global secondary tickets market.

According to the report, high returns for low investment is a key driver in the market. The secondary market consists of several providers selling event tickets at various price ranges. Secondary ticket providers buy the event tickets in bulk, when their cost is low. As the date of the event approaches and the demand increases, resellers start selling the tickets at an increased price, which increases their revenue.

Further, the report states that the availability of live broadcasts on television is a major challenge witnessed in the market as these eliminate the need for a viewer to watch the show at the event venue.
